guys, i'm taking an official break from The Realist blog. I still draw it every week for the printed paper but can't find the time to update the blog on a weekly basis. i will be back once the little life tsunami is over, hopefully sooner than later.

there also a 5 min video of screen capture of the process of this page right here.
this page is from a while ago, but since last week was all about
cartoonists i felt it was the right moment to post this one. for me
crumb is on the top of the list, any list.

things have improved drastically since the last time I posted. Thanks everyone for your kind words, it busted the healing process like crazy. I'm now almost back to normal except when I walk, I'm kinda off balance but doc says it should normalize eventually.for those outside of Israel: in this week's post I mention Matzah Brei, it's really good and you should give it a try if the opportunity presents itself.

lastly, I want you to check out the work of illustrator Sari Cohen. she is a former student and does great comics and illustration. Sari is also translating The Realist from hebrew since week 72.

A small group of Ultra-Orthodox Jews from Beit Shemesh (near Jerusalem), has gone wild. Under the pretense of "life of modesty" they have attacked a girl of 8 years old on her way to school because she wasn't dressed according to their dress code. They insist that on public transportation women will sit in the back, and generally prefer women to stay in the shadows (meaning take care of the children AND go to work, since they are busy studying the words of god). As long as they have acted as a sect in Mea-Shearimg (Ultra-Orthodox neighborhood in Jerusalem) no one tried to stop them. Now, as they are spreading to other parts of the country, they are trying to force their primitive values and twisted morals on everyone else.
